"CONGRATUATIONS!"
"Wha", asked Inuyasha, not knowing what the hell was going on.
"Ya said it man! Congrats to you--"
Inuyasha pounded Miroku.
"You idiot! Ya' ruined it before I even got to finish sayin' it!"
Then they spent the rest of the night arguing and apologizing while Kagome had a blank look on her face and wondering what all the fuss was about.
Everyone went back to their normal tents and Sango was talking to Kagome.
"So Kagome, were there any dirty details?" Sango had an evil glint in her eyes.
"Wh-what dirty details? We didn't do anything! Nothing! Really!"
"Yeah...Too shy to talk about it are we?"
"Sango!"
They started play-fighting then it struck Kagome that Sango didn't know that They have the whole jewel already.
"Sango! We have the whole jewel now!"
"What! How! We only had 4 shards before!"
"...Kikyo gave it to us...When she gave me the antidote..."
Sango's face immediately turned dark.
"Who said we ever needed her help! She could have just kept it and sooner or later we would've gotten it from her."
"I think she only did it because...she still has feelings for Inuyasha..."
"Oh come on Kagome...Don't feel bad! It's not like Inuyasha likes her back anyways!"
"... Yeah you're right...At least I hope..."
"Kagome, don't worry about it. Tomorrow we're gonna return the jewel to Lady Kaede so lighten up!"
"Yeah. Well, I guess we should sleep now!"
"Alright. Good night."
"Good night."
Early next morning, everybody got ready to go back to the village. Then they took off.
Kagome rode on Inuyasha's back as usual. Miroku, Shippo, and Sango rode on Kirara.
When they finally arrived, they all ran to Lady Kaede's hut. Unfortunately she had a guest. Guess who? Kikyo...
They two of them were drinking tea and talking about what happened to Kagome when the group burst in. At first everyone was laughing and noisy, but as soon as they saw Kikyo, the noise meter went down to zero (a/n: So sorry to all you Kikyo lovers! bowing)
"A second ago, you were all laughing. Why did it die down", Kikyo said in an evil tone. Then she caught sight of Kagome holding the jewel.
"Why are you holding the jewel. I personally handed it to Inuyasha myself."
"...Well..."
"Well what!"
"Calm down elder sister. She came to put it under my care."
"So? She needn't be holding it. Give it to Inuyasha!"
Kagome glared at Kikyo.
"Sorry Lady Kaede, but I have something to say. Why do you care so much about who's holding it? You gave it to us and we'll do with it as we wish."
Kikyo was at her boiling point.
"Well, I am Inuyasha's former girlfriend, so I would naturally want him to have it. Not some little girl that thinks she can take anothers place!"
"And what does that have to do with anything?"
Kikyo then ran out of the hut.
"Kikyo!"
Inuyasha was about to start after her, but he looked at Kagome. But Kagome only glanced at him and turned away. Inuyasha ran after her (a/n: sorry to all Kag fans, but here for the Kikyo fans).
"Here Lady Kaede. I put this under your care. I think I'm gonna go to bed. I'm a tad bit tired."
Kagome stomped out of the hut and into hers. She went in and flopped down on the futon.
Inuyasha's such a jerk! I can't believe I fell for him. Why did it have to be him! Why not some other demon! At least another demon that actually cares about how I feel! Ugh! Then she fell asleep.
"Kikyo! Wait up!"
Kikyo didn't listen to Inuyasha, but he soon caught up with her.
"Kikyo, I'm sorry, but you didn't have to talk to Kagome in that attitude though."
Kikyo stopped, turned around, and glared at him with cold, dead eyes.
"So you do care about her more than you care about me!"
"Kikyo...I thought you understood. Those days are over. You have to bring yourself to forget the past. What happened has happened."
"But it's not fair." Kikyo had tears in her eyes as she looked up to him. "If it weren't for Naraku, we would be the ones together! We would have probably had a family! We would have been at peace. But now..." Kikyo continued crying.
Meanwhile, Kagome wakes up from her nap and called out Inuyasha's name. But he wasn't there.
Oh yeah, he ran after Kikyo...No, I can't just sit around and do nothing! I have to find him and set things straight for once.
Kagome got up and ran though the woods. The dirt was a little slippery and there were footprints. Kagome followed them, and saw Kikyo clinging onto Inuyasha...
